In Ashford to see Hayseed Dixie. The venue is an old church! Ghost or Dogma should play here!

I watch very little these days, I think I've watched my two broadcast shows this year.

Why are the menu screens on smart TVs anything but smart?

I reckon we should just set the PS2 as the base level of technology and start over.

The Last Garagiste
Leila Moreau is out of money, out of luck, and almost out of time. Her shot at Formula One is slipping away. When a failing team lands in the hands of an unpredictable backer, Leila sees one last chance. Four weeks to make the grid in Qatar — or it’s game over.

This week I’m on course to finish a book — scrappy first draft, but a book nonetheless.

The Ninja is in for an MOT at Mr Appleby’s motorcycle emporium. So I’m sitting by the canal with a book, learning stuff.

Restring and set up on these two.

I miss the old days when I’d go to a physical shop to buy strings. Maybe pickup some picks or other bits.

Miss gear chats that resulted in trying something new because a real person recommended it. That’s how I swapped to thicker picks, thanks to a shop rando.

There was a period when eBay was great for occiasional guitar sales. Buyers were great, knowledgable and friendly buyers. Real community.

It changed so quickly.

I've only used Reverb once, but will be checking it out.

Paul Grover @paulgroversf.bsky.social · Jul 29

What is going on with eBay? 3 weeks ago I listed a guitar effects unit... Postage options make no sense. Buyer protection bumps up the price and it all just feels clunky.

On the buying side - I looked at a few guitars. All overpriced.

It used to be easy. Guess it's time to try Reverb.

It's weird. I've currently got 4 writing projects active. A year ago I could only work on one (barely!).

I have no idea what changed.

First astropic in a while. Western Veil Nebula, shot over 3 nights in June and July. Seven hours in total.

Forgot I took a snappy snap! Iron Maiden’s 50th anniversary tour at the London Stadium. Halestorm were special guests…. What a gig.

I racked my mead a week ago. It's even clearer now. Waiting for a spoon of extended length to arrive so I can sweeten it a bit. So far it's gone well. Second batch is underway.

Can we have remakes of movies, but as episodes of Scooby Doo? That would help a lot in these turbulent times.

I'm kind of liking the idea of a chase sequence in Alien.

Or the Shining whith Shaggy as Jack?

Well if the FIA’s plan was to make Monaco even more boring than normal… They’ve succeeded. I’m off to cut the grass.
